Should You Be Buying Net Stocks?
from the everybody's-question dept
USA Today is running the same story everyone else in the world has been discussing all week: is now the time to start buying more internet stocks. The reason I post this article though is that it begins to discuss (just a bit) the fact that not all internet companies are the same, and there may be reasons to invest in some and stay away from others. I've felt that way all along. I think there are plenty of very good, strong companies out there in the dot com space, but there are a ton of duds. Hopefully, people are getting to the point where they will distinguish. That's when some amount of sensibility returns to the market.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
